All About Anise

Here’s Some Star Anise!
So WHO is the mysterious Anise? The question that many have asked– senators, presidents, CIA agents, CEO’s, kings, princes, bill collectors… (oops! Let’s forget about that last one, shall we?) But the answers have never been revealed… until NOW! Aren’t we all excited?

(crickets chirp)
(tumbleweeds roll by)

Well. Anyway. Some say that Anise was born on a pirate ship in the South Seas somewhere near the Easter Island Bar, Grill, and Lotto, and is somehow related to Keith Richards, at least when he was in the PotC role. Some are sure that she was actually born in the 11th century at the court of William the Exceptionally Well-Endowed and traveled in a time machine that can be obtained in the sixty-fourth dimension by sending in Captain Crunch boxtops.

Be that as it may, it IS true that she has has over half a million unique readers, officially verified! 🙂 (Awaits lavish prize. None is forthcoming, apparently.) Fans all over the world have enjoyed her many fics, including The Bat-Bogeys Cometh, Keeping Christmas on the Death Train, Draco’s Dangerous Dilemma, Jewel of the Harem, Nineteen Years Later: The Truth, Millions of Malfoys, Malfoy in a Glass, Darkly, The Quick and the Dead, Bound, Unforgiven, Full Fathom Five, and oh, SO many more. And now ALL of those fics have inspired Death Train!

Yes, we never really know what’s coming up next for Anise. Except that hopefully it will involve making fans happy, making the world a better place, saving kittens, minding the gap, and getting the cash to start rolling in.
